History

Before Captain Tony Collings came up with the idea for Horse of the Year Show there was no special event to mark the end of the equestrian season - he believed that there was a need for a climax, a culmination of the year, a champion of Champions show. Indeed there was, for his idea was picked up by the then Chairmen of the British Show Jumping Association and British Horse Society Colonel Mike Ansell and Colonel VDS Williams.

Timing dictated that the show would be held in the autumn, and therefore an inside venue would have to be found. So a trip to the famous indoor show in Paris "Le Jumping" was planned. Ansell and Williams were amazed at what they saw, the audience reaction and participation was unlike anything they had seen and they set about transposing the show for a British audience.

As Ansell was chairman of the British Show Jumping Association, it was agreed that the BSJA would stage the show in conjunction with the Greyhound Racing Association, owners of the arena in Harringay, which had been selected as the venue for the show.

Tony Collings, the man behind the original concept, was brought back to plan the show and whilst his aim was to run a champion of champions showing event, a compromise was made with Ansell who believed that it was show jumping that would bring in and excite the crowds. It therefore became a BSJA jumping show; with a balanced mix of show classes open to qualified horses and ponies that had won prizes at major shows during the season. Thus in each section there would be a "Horse of the Year", and so in 1949 Horse of the Year Show was born.
